To all'wlzom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josnrn FELIX Dus- MARAIS, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and residing at 1705 (Ilhateaubriand' street, in the city of h'lontreal, in the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of Alimentary Products; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

The invention relates to an improved alimentary product of a kind such as macarom, spaghetti, verm'icelh,

cred milk, from which 'the butter fat has been extracted.

Applicant is well aware that the addition of milk to flour'is not new in the art of making pastry or even bread; but in the manufacture of such a product as macaronithat is, in the manufacture of products which are dried butnot baked applica-nt believes that it is new and that a marked improvement in the quality of the product is thus obtained.

'llhe object of the invention is to manufac- To illustrate, one hundred pounds of semolina of wheat requires approximately two and a half pounds of dry powdered milk to make a proper mixture.

Instead of using dry powdered milk, it is allowable to use ordinary milk; but in manufacturinga standard product, it is necessary always to have an exact proportion of case'- in and the other main constituents of, milk, and this can be obtained in a practical way by using dry powdered milkj In the other form, that 15, by using ordinary mil-k, this could not be controlled, and the quality of the product would depend greatly on the quality of. the milk used.

The soluble powder product made from stock,

noodles, and so' iforth, and consists of the addition of pownuxing semolina of wheat with the Application filed October 6, 1916. Serial No. 124,088.

"milk contains not less than ninety-five per cent. of milk solids and not less than twentysix percent, milk fat. Applicant would preferably use a product known as milk which is a skimmed milk product and has a very uniform quality that is, its percentage of milk solids and milk fat hardly varies.

In manufacturing an alimentary paste of the character described, the following proportions may also be used-semolina of wheat thoroughly mixed with two and a half er cent. of dry constituents of milk, to whic is added about twenty-five per cent. of water so as to form a pasty material which may readily be pressed into di'lferent shapes, the water then being caused to evaporate from said paste by following: the well-known process generally employed in manufacturing alimentary pastes.

It will easily be understood that the addition of milk, deprived of its water, to the semolina of wheat will result in an alimentary product-of great nutritive qualities without interfering with the actual process followed in manufacturing same. 4

What I claim is l 1. An alimentary paste composed of semolina of wheat and dry constituents of milk.

2. An alimentary paste composed of a large quantity of semolina of wheat and a smaller quantity of the dry constituents of milk.

3. An alimentary, paste composed of approximately one hundred pounds of'semolina' of wheat mixed with two and a half pounds of dry powdered milk.

4. The process of manufacturing an alimentary paste, consisting of thoroughly stituents of milk in the proportion of two anda half per cent, and adding approximately twenty-five per cent. of water so as to form a pasty material which is pressed intoshape, and then causing the water to evaporate from said combined semolina of wheat and constituents of milk.
